Asylum Schizo

"For a short filler cigar it held together well with a good flavor all the way to the nub. ... "

Sean Boyle says:

"An all around good smoke and you can't do much better on price."

"Not bad but nothing to brag about"

You would have to be crazy to ignore the Asylum Schizo. This medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan puro is brought to you by Christian Eiroa's CLE Cigar Company and is perhaps most notable for being a flavorful budget cigar that doesn't act like one. Notes of leather, cocoa and spice permeate the palate, with a satisfying complexity that won't allow you to believe that this is a mixed-filler stick. With different sizes available, from a standard robusto to a hefty 7x70, the Schizo is a grand choice for an everyday cigar, or to pass out at parties. Straitjacket not included.

About as expected for the price. A decent smoke from CLE for times when you just don't want to waste a more expensive cigar. I like these when knowing I may be interrupted during my smoke or while out doing yard work while pausing between tasks.
